SMM data showed that Chinese APT output was down 0.8% MoM at 11,300 mt in October. With firm tungsten concentrate prices and further weak demand, APT spot smelters were in more losses in October. Given that most of the orders from most smelters were long-term contracts or for captive use, the overall APT output didn’t decrease sharply, in a bid to ensure stable operation of the smelters.
Tungsten prices will further soften in November. Some smelters will have scheduled maintenance, or further reduce spot inventory. It is expected that APT output will inch down in November.
